In honor of Mike and the millions of other patients who have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's/Colitis), help us raise awareness today!

Thank you to Mike who helped inspire me to speak up for those who can not.

Thank you Pearl Jam for supporting awareness campaigns.

Thank you Wishlist Foundation & their amazing volunteers for organizing fun and informative pre-show parties.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease: "IBD, which stands for inflammatory bowel diseases, is comprised of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — two serious, chronic digestive diseases that affect five million people worldwide (1.4 million in the U.S. alone). Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis directly affect the digestive system and cause intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores, and bleed easily."

Cheers,

    Our local new's channel ATV dedicated a few minutes today on IBD. I was shocked to learn Nova Scotia has the highest cases of IBD in all of Canada!
